Anyone watching? I think 'hayley' played a good part

Ana Tue 14-Mar-17 15:43:09

The ex-husband is definitely dodgy! Couldn't remember anything because he'd been drinking something I can't now remember the name of....it'll come to me! grin

merlotgran Tue 14-Mar-17 15:33:59

The owner of the house where the party was held seemed a bit dodgy as well.

Anyone else? grin

Ilovecheese Tue 14-Mar-17 15:26:56

Yes, sorry Jalima I had forgotten about them.

AyjayF Tue 14-Mar-17 13:23:47

Olivia Coleman delivering her lines whilst eating a Scotch egg. Legend!

Ana Tue 07-Mar-17 16:13:08

Noo...too pbvious! Although he's another cocky and arrogant one!

Greyduster Tue 07-Mar-17 16:09:56

My money's still on the taxi driver.

I agree with Coolgran65 and think the party was for swingers, hence the overwhelming number of men at the party. This would also explain why Trish said she was wearing "matching purple bra and pants - brand new" .... who wears those unless they are expecting them to be seen by someone else? Also Trish's husband made a comment about her having had sex with a lot of men in the last 6 months.

The young man in charge of the rope and fishing net factory was very arrogant I thought Ilovecheese, and the new editor? in charge of the newspaper when she was dealing with the experienced editor of the local paper, as well as the young policewoman of course.
I look forward to seeing them getting their comeuppance grin

I enjoyed it too, "Haley" is an amazing actress, I thought it was very emotional when she told her daughter what had happened.

Charleygirl Tue 07-Mar-17 11:28:55

I enjoyed watching it last night- the suspects are lining up!

Ilovecheese Tue 07-Mar-17 11:14:44

One young police officer is a bit stroppy, not noticed that anybody else is.

Christinefrance Tue 07-Mar-17 09:08:44

I wondered that too cornergran, perhaps we are getting too excited ! !
I am enjoying this series, it's the last one too.

Jalima Mon 06-Mar-17 23:38:21

And that young policewoman going to warn her father hmm

Is it me, or are all the young people very stroppy and arrogant?

MawBroon Mon 06-Mar-17 23:35:26

I love the way everybody looks as if they have something to hide. Very Scandi noir !

Coolgran65 Mon 06-Mar-17 23:29:39

Am I getting ahead of myself in wondering if the party was a bit specific, possibly swingers, something of that ilk.

BlueBelle Mon 06-Mar-17 23:14:59

Well well well what did you think of tonight's show then? getting good isn't it? Is Hayley, sorry Trish a right little raver

seacliff Tue 28-Feb-17 20:27:40

I really enjoyed it, more than the second series. Thought "Hayley" was great.

Also, David Tennant looked much more healthy than in the last series. Then he was positively gaunt, can't remember exactly what his health problems were, but they seem to have been sorted.

Jalima Tue 28-Feb-17 20:18:25

I was just wondering why they didn't put paper mob caps on when they were collecting the evidence there or in her home.

Elrel Tue 28-Feb-17 20:15:46

Relieved not to be the only one who occasionally couldn't understand what DT said. Usually when I go back and turn up the volume I get it but last night I still couldn't.

whitewave Tue 28-Feb-17 15:39:17

I am afraid I watched it totally uncritically, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well, sort of. Cried when the woman was taken back and undressed and interviewed. I think I must be over emotional at the moment as I don't usually get so effected.

Jalima Tue 28-Feb-17 15:15:55

I like David Tennant (he doesn't set my heart a-flutter) but I thought he was very good in this despite not understanding some of what he said grin; he and Olivia Coleman make a good team.

The forensic medical examiner may not necessarily be a doctor and in any case a serious bash on the head could require a scan or at least a visit to A&E.

Maggiemaybe Tue 28-Feb-17 13:49:20

But surely the forensic medical examiner would be a qualified doctor?

Luckygirl Tue 28-Feb-17 13:43:49

I too was wondering where the doctor was - this woman had been injured - IRL they would have had a doctor on hand. I have been the "appropriate adult" in these situations and a doctor is always there.

BlueBelle Tue 28-Feb-17 13:32:24

Terriebell I said the same think to my daughter wouldn't she have been checked out for concussion seeing as she had been unconscious
I did find it a wee bit slow but presume it will speed up I hadn't seen the other series so was glad it's a stand alone story
I don't see the excitement in David Tennent I m afraid, he's ok but doesn't set my heart a flutter

Christinefrance Tue 28-Feb-17 13:24:46

I enjoyed it as well, hopefully going to be much better than the previous series. Julie Hesmondhalgh was a very convincing victim. David T is a bonus of course.
